Moondance Ranch A Place to Get Away From It All

If you're looking for a special place to get away from it all, you'll find it at Moondance Ranch. Clamber around in the red rock canyons. Explore the piñon pine and juniper covered slopes with your ATV. Or simply sit still and enjoy the view of the Uinta Mountains nearby. Located in the Uintah Basin, right near the 1.3 million acres of the Ashley National Forest, these properties will provide you with your own wilderness haven: Free from the crowds, bustle and pace of city life.



This is a place for people who love the outdoors. The Uintah Basin's varied terrain allows for a full feast of activities. Hike, mountain bike, or ride horseback through this exciting landscape. If you're an avid ATV rider, Moondance Ranch provides the perfect conditions for off-roading and within a half-hour drive you can access the extensive network of trails in the Ashley National Forest.

For hunters, it's a sportsman's paradise filled with wildlife: Elk, deer, chukars, pheasants, quail and geese. And if you enjoy fishing, the local wilderness areas hold hundreds of clear lakes and streams. Only minutes away, Starvation Lake State Park's 3500 acres provides ample room for boating, waterskiing, swimming off the sandy beach - and yes, more fishing.

At nearly 6000 feet elevation, the summers at Moondance Ranch are mild, mostly 80-90 degree weather. The winters are cold and clear with a good covering of snow. And with snow, comes the other half of local activities: snowmobiling, snow shoeing and cross country skiing. For downhill skiers, some of the world's finest skiing is available at Park City, only 1.5 hours away.

The history of Northeastern Utah goes deep - literally. At Dinosaur National Monument, near the town of Vernal, you can see the bones and fossils of dinosaurs and trilobites from millions of years ago. In fact, Utah is known for having one of the best Mesozoic rock records in the world. Petroglyphs inscribed by Fremont Indians over a millennium ago adorn many canyon walls as well. The area is brimming with places to explore and things to discover.

No crowds to bother you here: These lots are unusually large compared to the standard 1-2 acre lots on the local market. Furthermore, these properties are not subdividable. So you can be sure that the wilderness feeling of Moondance Ranch will stay that way.
